INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Casa De Amparo
San Marcos, CA
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Casa De Amparo (a nonprofit organization), which comprises the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the related statement of activities and changes in net assets, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Casa De Amparo as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Casa De Amparo and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Casa De Amparo’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 400 of 578
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Casa De Amparo's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Casa De Amparo’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We previously audited Casa De Amparo’s June 30, 2023, financial statements, and expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in their report dated May 13, 2024. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the f inancial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 13, 2024 on our consideration of the Casa De Amparo’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Casa De Amparo’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Casa De Amparo’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 1. Organization and Purpose:
Casa de Amparo (the “Organization”) was established in 1978 in California as a non-profit corporation and is recognized as a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt organization by the IRS. Casa de Amparo's mission is to support those affected by, and at risk of, child abuse or neglect through a range of programs and services that promote healing, growth, and healthy relationships.
Casa de Amparo is recognized as a major force in the field of child abuse prevention and treatment.
Partnering with the greater San Diego community, it assures that children and their families receive unique and innovative services for healing, for stopping child mistreatment of any kind, and for ending generational cycles of abuse. The result is a community where child abuse and neglect are not tolerated, and where child abuse awareness and prevention are priorities.
The Organization offers four integrated child abuse prevention and treatment programs. Residential Services (Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program or “STRTP”) provides 24-hour care and supportive/therapeutic services for children, from birth to 18, removed from the home due to abuse or neglect, including pregnant and parenting teens and their babies, and youth with special healthcare needs. New Directions provides transitional housing and supportive services to help former foster youth, ages 18 to 25, make a successful transition from foster care to independent living. Counseling Services provides trauma-informed therapy and case management for children and families experiencing, or at-risk of, child abuse or neglect.
The Organization has two campuses. The Casa Kids Campus on 11.4 acres owned by the Organization in the Twin Oaks Valley area of San Marcos was opened in April 2012. This campus provides housing for up to 50 children including 12 infants, and has a basketball court, a volleyball court, walking trails, gardens, a library, a learning center, an art/activities room, training rooms and administrative/support offices. The second campus is in Oceanside and is used by New Directions with buildings owned by the Organization and a long-term land lease agreement with the City of Oceanside.
In 2016, Casa de Amparo responded to the growing need for intensive residential care for pregnant and
parenting female foster youth and their babies by expanding its pregnant and parenting program capacity and space and also expanding overall clinical support space on the Casa Kids Campus. The cottage for pregnant and parenting female foster youth and their babies now serves up to 12 moms and 12 babies simultaneously.
In order to comply with the State of California’s Continuum of Care Reform (“CCR”), Casa de Amparo implemented STRTP standards and began the process of Joint Commission accreditation early in fiscal year 2017. Joint Commission accreditation was awarded May 19, 2017. Casa de Amparo received STRTP approval and its licensure from the State of California in January 2019.
In 2018, Casa de Amparo added the Transition Preparation Program (“TPP”) within its Residential Services program. The TPP serves older teenage foster youth, including youth who are pregnant or parenting. The TPP maintains all aspects of supervision and services provided in Residential Services while preparing teens to live independently by simulating apartment-style living.
In 2020, Casa de Amparo continued its campaign to raise funds to expand the Casa Kids Campus in San Marcos to include a Teen Wellness Center (“TWC”) for Foster Youth. The TWC will be licensed by California Community Care Licensing as a Community Treatment Facility, which is a secure STRTP.

8 The Teen Wellness Center will be the first of its kind in San Diego County and only the third in California. The TWC will serve foster youth who need a higher level of emotional, behavioral and mental health care. The TWC will play a vital role in the child abuse treatment and prevention services provided to children affected by complex trauma that would otherwise likely be placed out of state.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of Presentation: Net assets, revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor or grantor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:
Net Assets without Donor Restrictions – Net assets without donor restrictions are free of donor-imposed restrictions. All revenues, gains, and losses that are not restricted by donors are included in this classification. All expenditures are reported in the without donor restrictions class of net assets, including expenditures funded by restricted contributions.
Expenditures funded by restricted contributions are reported in the without donor restrictions net asset class because the use of restricted contributions is in accordance with donors’ stipulations results in the release of such restrictions.
Net Assets with Donor Restrictions – Net assets with donor restrictions are limited as to use by donor-imposed stipulations that may expire with the passage of time or that may be satisfied by action of the Organization. The Organization reports gifts of cash and other assets as revenue with donor restrictions if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished, the net assets are reclassified as net assets without donor restriction and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Some net assets with donor restrictions include a stipulation that assets provided be maintained permanently (perpetual in nature) while permitting the Organization to expend the income generated by the assets in accordance with the provisions of additional donor imposed stipulations or a Board approved spending policy.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Organization considers cash on hand and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Contributions of financial assets - Contributions, including unconditional promises to give, are recorded when received. All contributions are available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets if the restrictions expire (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished) in the reporting period in which the revenue is recognized.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
9 Contributions of financial assets (Continued):
All other donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. Expenses are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets.
Grants receivable: Grants receivable arise in the normal course of operations. It is the policy of management to review the outstanding grants receivable at year-end, as well as the bad debt write-offs experienced in the past, and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for uncollectible amounts.
Management determined that no allowance is necessary on June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Pledges Receivable – Unconditional promises to give cash and other assets are recognized as revenue in the period received. Conditional promises to give are not recognized until donor stipulations are met.
Unconditional promises to give that are expected to be collected within one year are recorded at net realizable value. Unconditional promises to give, with payments due to the Organization beyond one year, are recorded as net assets with donor restrictions at the estimated present value of the expected future cash flows, using credit risk-adjusted rates applicable to the years in which the promises are expected to be received. Amortization of the discounts is recorded as contribution revenue in the appropriate net asset class.
An allowance for uncollectible pledges receivable is provided based upon management’s judgment of such factors as prior collection history and other relevant factors. Management determined that no allowance is necessary on June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Funds held by Community Foundations – The Organization transferred assets to community foundations holding them as endowed component funds for the benefit of the Organization. See Note 7 for additional detail.
Investment – The Organization records investment purchases at cost, or if donated, at fair value on the date of donation. Thereafter, investments are reported at their fair values in the statement of financial position. Net investment return/(loss) is reported in the statement of activities and consists of interest and dividend income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, less external and direct internal investment expenses.
Property and Equipment: Acquisitions of property and equipment of $5,000 or more are capitalized.
Property and equipment are stated at cost or, if donated, at the appropriate fair market value at the date of donation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 5 to 45 years.
Buildings 20 - 45 years
Furniture and equipment 5 - 7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Depreciation expense was $427,082 and $399,401 for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
10 Valuation of Long-Lived Assets – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the Organization be reviewed for impairment whenever events of changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment, which is determined based upon the estimated fair value of the asset, is recorded when estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset is insufficient to recover its net carrying value. As of June 30, 2024, the Organization did not identify any events or circumstances that would require recognition of an impairment loss under this standard.
Contributions of Non-Financial Assets – Contributed materials are recorded at their fair market value where an objective basis is available to measure their value. Such items are capitalized or charged to operations as appropriate. Certain contributed items are auctioned at the Organization’s special events.
Contributed items are included in the statements of activities as contributions of non-financial assets and program and special event expenses. The Organization recorded a total of $531,226 and $526,767 in operational expenses related to contributions of non-financial assets for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Organization receives a substantial number of services donated by volunteers in carrying out the Organization’s program services. The services do not meet the criteria as contributions and are, therefore, not recognized in the financial statements.
Contributed property and equipment are recorded at fair value at the date of donation. Contributions with donor-imposed stipulations regarding how long the contributed assets must be used are recorded as net assets with donor restrictions; otherwise, the contributions are recorded as net assets without donor restrictions.
The Organization has capitalized the value of the donated land lease as a contribution with donor restrictions. Each year the Organization reclassifies amortization of the land lease from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the ending value of the land lease is $806,758 and $859,954, respectively.
Functional allocation of expenses – The Organization allocates its expenses on a functional basis among its various programs and supporting services. Expenditures which can be identified with a specific program or support service are allocated directly, according to their natural expenditure classification. Costs that are common to several functions are allocated among the program and supporting services based on time records, space utilized, and estimates made by the Organization’s management.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the Organization to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Organization believes that the estimates utilized in preparing these financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
11 Income Taxes – The Organization is a qualified nonprofit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Notification No. 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, which sets a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Organization uses a loss contingencies approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions and continually evaluates changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. Management believes that the Organization has no uncertain tax positions.
Leases – the Organization determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases are included in right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities reflect the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term, and ROU assets also include prepaid or accrued rent. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Casa does not report ROU assets and leases liabilities for its short-term leases (leases with a term of 12 months or less). Instead, the lease payments of those leases are reported as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
New Accounting Pronouncements – During the 2023 fiscal year the Organization adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Organization has elected not to restate the comparative period (2023). It also elected not to reassess at adoption (i) expired or existing contracts to determine whether they are or contain a lease, (ii) the lease classification of any existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases. At July 1, 2023 as a result of implementing ASU No. 2016-02, the Organization recognized right-of-use assets of $54,532 and lease liabilities totaling $54,532 on the statement of financial position as of July 1, 2023.
During the 2023 fiscal year the Organization adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-07, Presentation and Disclosures by Not-for-Profit Entities for Contributed Nonfinancial Assets. The new guidance requires nonprofit entities to present contributed nonfinancial assets as a separate line item in the statement of activities, apart from contributions of cash or other financial assets. The standard also increases the disclosure requirements around contributed nonfinancial assets, including disaggregating by category the types of contributed nonfinancial assets a nonprofit entity has received. Adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the financial statements, with the exception of increased disclosure.
Prior Period Adjustments - The Organization has recorded a prior period adjustment to net assets without donor restrictions in the amount of $139,975 to write-off Grant Revenue Receivables that were paid in full during the year ended June 30, 2023. The below table details the corrected amounts:

The Organization recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at that date, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. The Organization’s financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the statement of financial position but arose after that date and before the financial statements are available to be issued.
The Organization has evaluated subsequent events through November 12, 2024, which is the date the financial statements are available for issuance.

13 Note 4. Fair Value Measurements:
The Organization defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inactive markets, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable. Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
The Organization uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair value of their investments. When available, the Organization measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because it generally provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. Level 3 inputs are only used when Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available.
The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investments.
The table below presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2024:
Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Financial Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 3,653,020 $ 3,653,020 $ - $ - Funds held by community foundations 801,886 801,886 - - Total Financial Assets $ 4,454,906 $ 4,454,906 $ - $ -
Note 5. Concentration of Credit Risk:
Cash
The Organization maintains cash balances at several financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At times, the balances may exceed federally insured limits. There have been no losses in such accounts as of June 30, 2024. Management believes that the Organization is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.

Note 8. Contingencies and Commitments:
Government Contracts – The Organization receives a significant portion of its revenues from government contracts, which are subject to audits. No provision has been made for any liabilities that may arise from such audits since the amounts, if any, cannot be determined. Management believes that any liability, which may result from these audits, is not significant.
Litigation - In conducting its activities, the Organization is occasionally named in various legal claims and litigations. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of such legal claims will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Organization.
Note 9. Operating Lease Commitments:
Casa De Amparo evaluated current contracts to determine which met the criteria of a lease. The right- of-use (ROU) assets represent Casa De Amparo’s right to use underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent Casa De Amparo’s obligation to make lease payments arising from these leases. The ROU assets and lease liabilities, all of which arise from operating leases, were calculated based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease terms.

The Organization sponsors a non-contributory 403(b) retirement plan covering all employees who have completed 90 days of eligible service. Contributions to the retirement plan are at the discretion of each employee. There were no contributions by the Organization for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Note 11. Information Regarding Liquidity and Availability:
Contract revenue from the federal, state and local governments historically represent approximately 71% of the Organization’s operational funding needs. Support without donor restrictions averaged 26%, and the remainder funded by contributions with donor restrictions and interest income.
The Organization’s cash flows have seasonal variations due to the concentration of contributions received at calendar and fiscal year-end. To manage liquidity, the Organization has a policy to structure its financial assets to be available as its general expenditures, liabilities, and other obligations come due.
The Organization invests cash in excess of its daily requirements in money market accounts and short- term investments. As of June 30, 2024, the Organization had $379,198 available in its operating reserve accounts. Additionally, the Organization has Board Designated net assets without donor restrictions totaling $523,239 that, while the Organization does not intend to spend for those purposes other than those identified, the amounts could be made available for current operations, if necessary.
The following table reflects the Organization’s financial assets as of June 30, 2024, reduced by amounts that are not available to meet general expenditures within one year of the statement of financial position date because of contractual restrictions or internal board designations.

18 Note 12. Endowment Funds:
Authoritative guidance related to not-for-profit entities provides guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for a not-for-profit organization that is subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006 (“UPMIFA”) and requires additional disclosures about an organization’s endowment funds. The Organization’s endowment funds consist of four individual funds and includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments. In accordance with the authoritative guidance, net assets associated with the funds, including funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
The Organization has interpreted UPMIFA as the prudent preservation of the fair value of the original gift of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Organization classifies net assets with donor restrictions (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment, (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund and (d) the remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment until those amounts are appropriated for expenditures by the Organization in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by the State of California’s UPMIFA. As such, much of the net realized and unrealized appreciation in the fair value of the assets of an endowment fund over the historic dollar value of the fund is considered prudent, unless the donor’s intention is indicated in the endowment.
Changes in endowment net assets for the year ended June 30, 2024 are as follows:

From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with donor-restricted endowment funds may fall below the level that the donor or UPMIFA requires the Organization to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. There were no deficiencies of this nature as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Due to the relatively small size of its endowment, the Organization has not enacted a policy of spending principal or principal appreciation of the funds. The Organization invests the funds for total return and reinvests all interest and dividends to enhance the growth of the funds. The Organization believes it is beneficial to defer endowment spending and grow the endowment to a size that will have a meaningful impact in stabilizing the revenues of the Organization.
Endowment and board-designated endowment funds are invested with a strong equity bias towards significant diversification across investments with fundamentally different risk characteristics. In general, assets are invested in funds that provide liquidity and diversification of security specific risk at reasonable cost. The funds are invested with a long-term horizon without attempting to time market movements. Allocations to asset classes are maintained in accordance with the long-term policy targets and ranges approved by the Operations Committee and the Board of Directors.
Note 13. Loan Payable:
On April 20, 2017, the Organization refinanced its loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank for the purpose of financing the cost of construction of Casa Kids Campus. Interest is payable monthly at a fixed rate of 4.35% and the loan matures on May 5, 2024. The loan is secured by the Casa Kids Campus.
The Organization is subject to compliance with certain debt covenants under the loan agreement. The Organization received a waiver for covenant non-compliance for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Effective May 30, 2024, Wells Fargo Bank removed all financial reporting, condition, or performance covenants with specific due dates or reporting and compliance periods for the loan.
The loan was fully paid on December 26, 2023.
Note 14. Contribution of Non-Financial Assets:
The estimated fair value of donated goods and professional services is recorded in the financial statements. Donated goods are recorded at fair value. Donated professional services are recognized in the financial statements because the services require specialized skills, provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. Casa De Amparo may receive donated volunteer services which have not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements because such services do not meet the criteria requirements of creating nonfinancial assets or requiring specialized professional skills.
Casa De Amparo received contributions of non-financial assets from the various donors during the fiscal year consisting of food and gift certificate donations valued at $531,450 as determined by the respective retail value of each item. The donations were used to support the Organization’s programs.
The contributions of non-financial assets have been recorded in the statement of activities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Board of Directors of
Casa De Amparo
San Marcos, CA
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Casa De Amparo (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 , and the related statements of activities, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 12, 2024.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Casa De Amparo's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Casa De Amparo’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Casa De Amparo’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified
March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 421 of 578
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Casa De Amparo’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the organization’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Organization’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR
PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE
UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Board of Directors of
Casa De Amparo
San Marcos, CA
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Casa De Amparo's compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Casa De Amparo’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. Casa De Amparo’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of Auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, Casa De Amparo complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of Casa De Amparo and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of Casa De Amparo’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to Casa De Amparo’s federal programs.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 423 of 578
on Casa De Amparo’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about Casa De Amparo’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding Casa De Amparo’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of Casa De Amparo’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Casa De Amparo’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Casa De Amparo’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Casa De Amparo’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Casa De Amparo’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

FY 2025/2026 CDBG Carlsbad Application Executive Summary Founded in 1978 by a local San Diego County group of women concerned about domestic violence and the welfare of children, Casa de Amparo envisions a community where child abuse and neglect are not tolerated, and where child abuse awareness and prevention are priorities. As a major force in the field of child abuse prevention, we partner with the greater San Diego community and beyond to ensure that children and their families receive unique and innovative services for healing, for stopping child mistreatment of any kind, and for ending generational cycles of abuse.
With the mission to support those affected by and at risk of child abuse and neglect through a range of programs and services that promote healing, growth, and healthy relationships, Casa de Amparo delivers services via two primary programs: Residential Services and New Directions, as well as provides supplementary therapeutic programming and activities for all youth served.
As a California Community Care Licensed Short -Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP), our Residential Services program provides trauma-informed, intensive residential care to youth dependents of Child and Family Well -Being and wards from county probation. The program serves youth and adolescents ages 12 –18 from various ethnic backgrounds, as well as homeless and LGBTQIA youth and youth with disabilities, who have been impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and tra uma, including severe neglec t, domestic violence, gang activity, substance abuse, and/or exposure to violence in the community. Additionally, we serve girls with special health care needs, who are pregnant and/or parenting, and/or involved in or at risk of involvement in commercial s exual exploitation (CSE). This component of the program provides the girls with a designated space to experience pregnancy and motherhood in home -like cottages separate from our other on-site residential cottages. We provide 24-hour supervised care for all residents, including medical treatment, meals, transportation, recreation, counseling, life skills (including money management) and social skills development, education coordination, and case management.
Our New Directions transitional housing program serves adolescents and young adults ages 18 – 25 who are transitioning from the foster care system, including those who are pregnant and/or parenting, and equips them with the necessary skills and resources to successfully transition to independent living. This program operates out of Casa de Amparo’s Oceanside campus. Program supports include intensive case management; stable housing with subsidized rent (off -site from Casa de Amparo’s campus); furnishings and basic necessities; support for overall medical and mental health; employment, education, and career planning; money management; life skills training; relationship mediation; monthly gift cards for groceries and transportation; emancipation funds available upon high school graduation; optional matched personal savings program; and parenting skill-building for residents with children.

Additionally, Gonzales oversees grounds maintenance, monitors water systems, coordinates resident apartment repairs, and ensures compliance with local agreements and regulations. Regular participation in meetings and collaboration with volunteers are also part of Gonzales’ role.
BUDGET & TIMELINE
Casa de Amparo respectfully requests $80,000.00 to replace the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at our Oceanside campus. HVAC system replacement is essential to enhance the comfort, safety, and energy efficiency of the facility, which provides behavioral health services to local transitional-age youth. The project involves replacing five outdated gas/electric package units and one evaporative cooler with modern, high-efficiency equipment designed to meet the specific needs of the facility. These upgrades will improve indoor air quality, maintain consistent temperatures, and ensure reliable system performance, fostering a stable environment for youth who rely on us for critical services.
The estimated cost of the project includes all labor at prevailing wage, materials, and equipment necessary for the removal and installation of the new systems. The work will adhere to environmental and safety standards, including proper disposal of old equipment and compliance with Environmental Protection Agency regulations. By investing in this infrastructure improvement, Casa de Amparo aims to reduce operational costs through increased energy efficiency, allowing more resources to be allocated toward program enhancements.
This project is critical for supporting transitional-age youth, ensuring they can focus on recovery and personal development in a comfortable and supportive space. With the project slated for completion in early 2025, Casa de Amparo is committed to creating a healthier environment for the individuals we serve.

Over a 12-month grant period, funding from the Carlsbad CDBG will provide: • Homelessness prevention aimed at preventing homelessness for at least 10 Carlsbad households through emergency rental assistance and case management. • Employment and education assistance aimed at increasing income and self-sufficiency for at least 20 individuals; and, • Basic needs (e.g. emergency food and hygiene kits) to at least 500 unduplicated Carlsbad individuals and their families.

Carlsbad Service Center staff include culturally diverse and bilingual (English/Spanish) case managers, ensuring that Carlsbad residents with limited English proficiency can fully access services. Beginning January 2025, Interfaith staff will also have access to Propio, a language service that provides on-demand translation services by phone, video, or in person in over 300 languages.
Interfaith case managers complete a comprehensive Needs Assessment with each household during the intake process to determine eligibility, gather required documentation, and identify service needs. The following forms are utilized by Interfaith and will be provided if requested: Intake Packet consisting of Client Demographic Form, Proof of Income Form, Consent to Services Form, and Rental/Flex Fund Assistance Screening Tool. Through this process information is collected including all general demographic information such as race, gender, income, source of income, education level, and housing status. In addition, forms documenting proof of income are retained, such as records of employment, unemployment, and other benefits or support providing income. Documentation for rental assistance also includes proof of emergency situation, copy of bank statements, and other applicable rental assistance documents. Client information is recorded in Interfaith’s agency-wide client services database Efforts to Outcomes (ETO) and San Diego’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
Interfaith will utilize internal evaluation methods, including quantitative and qualitative data, to assess the project’s impact. Results will be obtained from program records, client case notes, and aggregate data collected as part of Interfaith recordkeeping and outcome tracking.
Client data will be recorded in Interfaith’s ETO database, as well as HMIS when appropriate. Both systems generate detailed reports that are used to document service impacts and measure progress towards outcomes. This will include demographics, income levels and sources, employment and housing status, and participation in Interfaith’s programs as well as those offered by other regional human service providers. Additionally, distribution of rental assistance and other aid will be tracked in ETO and Interfaith’s accounting system to determine the number of households assisted, amount of assistance, and outcomes.
Interfaith has been an integral member organization of the San Diego Continuum of Care (CoC) since its inception and served as lead service agency for the Coordinated Entry System (CES) expansion from the City of San Diego to North San Diego County. Interfaith works in collaboration with the Regional Taskforce on Homelessness, City of Carlsbad Homeless Outreach Team, County of San Diego Homeless Outreach Teams, 2-1-1/CIE San Diego, Alliance for Regional Solutions, Catholic Charities La Posada, Brother Benno’s, San Diego Rescue Mission, Buena Creek Navigation Center, TrueCare, and other nonprofit organizations. 82,611 708,500

Because we are a well-established fair housing program, LASSD already has policies, offices, and staff in place to ensure quality services are timely completed under this contract. We have experienced, existing staff ready to begin providing services immediately upon execution and start of the contract. This includes staff that work out of our North County office located in San Marcos.
In the first quarter, LASSD will review and confirm systems and plans are in place to ensure grant deliverables are completed in a timely manner throughout the grant year .
The Managing Attorney and Accounting Department will provide progress reports to the City on a quarterly basis. LASSD will be able to measure program effectiveness and timeliness by tracking and ensuring completion of deliverable goals in a manner that is both efficie nt and high quality.
Regular review of progress will allow the program to redirect staff time and efforts, if necessary, to meet or exceed all contract requirements.
Describe steps already completed or to be completed to initiate project. These may include community support, staffing, securing an appropriate location, marketing, and networking.
As previously stated, LASSD currently operates a high-quality fair housing program that conducts the activities proposed under the grant and is therefore ready to initiate the project immediately.
We have three offices throughout San Diego County, including one in North County in San Marcos.
LASSD regularly conducts outreach and training and will be able to seamlessly market and continue those ongoing efforts. Similarly, our testing program is already established and staffed with experienced testing coordinators that can begin testing activities immediately. Finally, we are already staffed with several experienced advocates and attorneys that can continue providing direct client services.
Describe the program’s timeline with dates and times, including the earliest possible start dates, end dates, and milestones as applicable.
Required deliverables will be completed between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, with services beginning immediately. Quarterly reports will provide the City with updates on project progress.

Describe the work to be performed, including the activities to be undertaken or the services to be provided and the goals and objectives of the program/project:
LASSD will provide comprehensive legal services regarding fair housing law, including education and outreach services; testing services; referrals to other LASSD teams and community resources, counsel, advice, investigations, and brief services; and representation for enforcement of federal and state fair housing laws. The goals and objectives of the program are to increase community knowledge on fair housing rights and obligations, investigate and combat housing discrimination, and enforce fair housing laws.
How accessible or convenient is the proposed program/project to Carlsbad residents? (Please be specific such as direct services to client’s home, transportation provided to and from facility, or relation to public transportation.)
LASSD’s North County office is located at 100 E. San Marcos Blvd., San Marcos, CA 92069 . Walk- ins are welcome and we are open Monday through Friday (except holidays) from 9am–5pm. The office is ADA-compliant and is located along a major public transit line. In addition, we accommodate clients in various ways, including by offering site visits to clients’ homes or other convenient locations, as well as phone or web -cam appointments. The Fair Housing Team also has access to LASSD’s team of Case Managers, who can connect clients to other resources, such as free or affordable transportation services.
Does your agency focus its activities on populations with special needs? If yes, please specify population (Homeless households, persons with disabilities, persons with substance abuse, veterans, farmworkers, seniors, children, etc.)
LASSD’s Fair Housing Team provides free assistance to anyone that feels they have experienced housing discrimination or has landlord-tenant or other housing related questions. As such, many of our clients are members of protected classes and vulnerable populations. For example, many clients we serve have mental or physical disabilities and an overwhelming majority are low income. We also often assist people living in affordable housing that need assistance preserving their subsidy.
Additionally, the Fair Housing Team regularly conducts outreach through Homeless Court and other outreach events, which allows us to reach a broad range of people experiencing housing instability or homelessness. We assist people living in homelessness to utilize their fair housing rights to strengthen their ability to gain stable housing. We also work to prevent homelessness by enforcing fair housing laws to keep people housed. Currently, we have HUD Education and Outreach Initiative grants focused on expanding fair housing knowledge and enforcement for March 25, 2025

Such persons face additional obstacles to finding and maintaining housing , making them more susceptible to discrimination and housing instability. Our services provide free legal support to those individuals to empower and/or represent them in asserting their fair housing rights , which helps maintain safe and stable housing.
How does your organization provide language access to recipients with less than proficient English?
For clients and community members that have Limited English Proficiency (LEP), LASSD has staff that speak all of the threshold languages for San Diego County (Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Tagalog, Chinese, Korean, Somali, Persian (Farsi, Dari) ). In addition, for this project specifically, LASSD’s Fair Housing program has multiple staff members that are fluent in Spanish. LASSD tests and tracks staff that speak threshold languages in the County.
LASSD’s phone system provides options for English and Spanish. Applicants and clients who visit our office locations can use language cards to indicate their language needs. In addition, LASSD contracts with multiple third -party translation services to ens ure all applicants and clients can fully access our services regardless of LEP status. LASSD uses Voiance, which provides 24/7 phone translation service in all languages and is pre -programmed on each staff member’s phone to ensure easy access. Also, LASSD contracts with another translation service, ALTA, for written translations. For clients who use American Sign Language (ASL), LASSD has staff that can communicate using ASL and LASSD uses either ALTA or a Deaf Access Program, Deaf Community Services of San Diego, Inc., for interpreter services.
How will recipients’ information be collected and documented? LASSD utilizes JusticeServer, a comprehensive case management system which securely captures, maintains, and shares data. JusticeServer is a Salesforce system and reliably captures data necessary for quarterly reports, such as income, demographic data, complaint basis, case notes, and resolution/outcome.

How will the outcomes be measured, collected, and documented? LASSD measures outcomes in various ways, including by our comprehensive data management system, JusticeServer, which reliably captures, maintains, and shares data. JusticeServer has the capacity to generate reports based on desired data categories and assists LASSD in managing the output and outcomes of program deliverables for the project. Examples of such outcomes include tracking monetary and nonmonetary benefits achieved and the highest level of service provided.
JusticeServer captures data necessary for quarterly reports, and grant progress/quarterly reports are securely stored on SharePoint/Teams which allows staff to review, share, and update their progress.
Describe collaboration with other agencies, such as the County Continuum of Care and other non-profit organizations and/or agencies to form a cohesive approach in serving the low income and most vulnerable populations.
LASSD has provided free legal services to San Diego County for over a century. As such, we have deep ties to the community and meaningful partnerships with other agencies. For example, LASSD is a member of the CoC. LASSD is also a founding member and the coordinating agency of the San Diego Housing Justice Collaborative, which is a network of non-profit agencies providing housing services throughout the County . The purpose of the Collaborative is to maximize resources and streamline referrals to and from collaborative partners, and to ensure partners are up to date with substantive legal developments. Lastly, Managing Attorney, Amalea Romero, also serves as the President for the San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing.

1 Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc., which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc. as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards (Government Auditing Standards), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 475 of 578
2 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with U.S. GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 476 of 578
3 Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards as required by Title 2 U.S.
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. The schedule of federal and non-federal revenue, statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net assets, and schedule of private attorney involvement expenses – Legal Services Corporation grant are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 27, 2024, on our consideration of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

10 Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 – Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of organization – Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc. (the Society) is a non-profit, California corporation organized in 1953 primarily for the purpose of providing legal services to indigent individuals who meet established eligibility guidelines.
The Society operates law programs, subject to individual grant and service contract restrictions, in the following general priority and substantive areas:
Substantive Areas General Priorities
Housing Support for families
Health/income maintenance Preserving the home
Individual rights Maintaining economic stability
Family Safety, stability, and health
Consumer/finance Populations with special vulnerabilities Education and juvenile
Consumer center for health education and advocacy
The Society is exempt from federal and California income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, except to the extent of unrelated business taxable income as defined under IRC Sections 511 through 515. The Society had no unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Society files an exempt organization return in the United States federal jurisdiction and with the Franchise Tax Board in the state of California.
Recently adopted accounting standards – Effective July 1, 2023, the Society adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires organizations to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date. There was no material impact to the financial statements as of the date of adoption.
Accounting principles – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared utilizing the accrual basis of accounting.
Financial statement presentation – The accompanying financial statements present information regarding the Society’s financial position and results of activities according to the following net asset categories:
Net assets without donor restrictions represent expendable funds available for operations that are not otherwise limited by donor restrictions. Certain amounts are separately reported as designated due to limitations on how these amounts can be or have been spent.
March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 484 of 578
Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
11 Net assets with donor restrictions consist of contributed funds subject to specific donor-imposed restrictions contingent upon specific performance of a future event or a specific passage of time before the Society may spend the funds. Other net assets with donor restrictions are subject to irrevocable donor restrictions requiring that the assets be maintained in perpetuity, usually for the purpose of generating investment income, net of investment expenses to fund current operations.
As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Society had a total of $138,019 and $391,343, respectively, of net assets with donor restrictions.
Revenue Recognition
Grants and service contracts – The Society evaluates its grants and service contracts to determine if they are reciprocal or non-reciprocal in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The terms of the agreements are evaluated and when the arrangement is determined to be non-reciprocal, it is accounted for as a conditional contribution, as described below. The Society recognizes revenue from grants and service contracts when eligible costs are incurred or services are performed per the terms of the agreements. A receivable is recognized for revenue earned under the terms of the agreements in excess of cash advances. Conversely, refundable advances is recorded when advances exceed revenue earned.
Contributions, in-kind – Donated equipment and other donated goods are recorded at their estimated fair value as of the date of the donation. Donated services are recognized as contributions if the services (a) create or enhance non-financial assets, or (b) require specialized skills, are performed by people with those skills, and would otherwise be purchased by the Society. The Society receives donated professional services from attorneys and paralegals, which are recorded at fair value as a contribution and an expense in the statements of activities.
Attorney fees – A judge may award the Society attorney fees in some cases. These fees are recognized when the fee-generating case concludes at which time the Society’s performance obligation is completed.
Contributions – Contributions received are recorded as without donor restrictions, or with donor restrictions depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. Contributions subject to donor-imposed restrictions for use in a future period or for a specific purpose are reported as with donor restrictions depending on the nature of the donor’s restriction. When a donor restriction expires, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Contributions with donor restrictions which are met in the same reporting period are reported as revenue without donor restrictions.
Contributions received with a right-of-return and a measurable barrier in place are considered conditional and recognized when the barrier is overcome.
Other revenue – Other revenue is recognized when the services are rendered or rental payments are due to the Society.
Cash and cash equivalents – The Society considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Society’s policy is to place cash and cash equivalents with high-credit-quality financial institutions. Amounts placed with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured institutions are federally insured up to $250,000. The Society has cash and cash equivalents accounts that exceed the insured amount. The Society has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Notes to Financial Statements
12 Client trust funds – The Society holds funds in trust for clients at times. The balance of these funds is not available for operations. The balance is recorded as both an asset and liability on the statements of financial position.
Receivables
Grants and contracts – Receivables consist of amounts billed and unbilled on grants and service contracts for services provided through June 30. Receivables from three granting agencies represent 52% and 54% of total receivables as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Allowance for doubtful accounts – An allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts is based on past experience and on an analysis of current receivable balances. Receivables are written off against the allowance in the year deemed uncollectible. Management believes all receivables at June 30, 2024 and 2023, are fully collectible; therefore, no allowance for uncollectible accounts is considered necessary.
Property and equipment – Property and equipment acquired with grant funds are considered to be owned by the Society while used in its programs. However, the funding sources may have a reversionary interest in the property, as well as the right to determine the use of any proceeds from the sale of assets purchased with their respective funds.
The Society follows the practice of capitalizing at cost, or at estimated fair value at the date of the gift, if donated, all acquisitions of property and equipment in excess of $5,000. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 3–10
Buildings, building improvements, and leasehold improvements 10–30
The Society does not currently hold property or equipment that was purchased solely with funding from Legal Services Corporation, as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Leases – The Society evaluates whether its contractual arrangements contain leases at the inception of such arrangements. Specifically, the Society considers whether it can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. The Society has elected not to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for leases with terms of 12 months or less.
The Society does not have any financing leases. The ROU operating lease asset represents the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments.
Both the ROU operating lease asset and liability are recognized as of the lease commencement date or adoption of the standard, whichever is later, at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Society’s lease does not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, the Society uses a risk-free rate as per the practical expedient.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in operating expenses on the accompanying statements of activities and statement of functional expenses under space and occupancy.

Notes to Financial Statements
13 Impairment of long-lived assets – The Society evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write down will be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. To date, no such write downs have occurred.
Advertising expense – The society did not incur advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Functional allocation of expenses – The costs of providing the program and supporting services have been summarized on a functional basis in the statements of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited. Rent, occupancy costs, and depreciation are allocated based on square footage occupied. Utilities are allocated according to full-time equivalents by department.
Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events – Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the statement of financial position date but before the financial statements are available to be issued. The Society recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the statement of financial position, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. The Society’s financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the statement of financial position but arose after the statement of financial position date and before the financial statements were available to be issued.
The Society has evaluated subsequent events through November 27, 2024, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Notes to Financial Statements
15 Note 4 – Contingency
Grants and contracts – The Society has grants and contracts with government agencies and other organizations that are subject to audit. No provision has been made for any liabilities that may arise from such audits, since the amounts, if any, cannot be determined. Management believes that any liability that may result from these audits would not be material. Many of these grants and contracts may be terminated or reduced with written notice to the Society in the event that funding for the agreements ceases or is reduced prior to the expiration dates of the grants or contracts.
Note 5 – Leases
The Society operates its office under a series of operating lease agreements. ROU assets represent the Society’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent Legal Aid Society of San Diego’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. For operating leases, the Society recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term and Discount Rate The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate used to calculate the present value of lease liabilities are as follows for the year ended June 30:
2024 2023

25 Report of Independent Auditors on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Board of Directors
Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc., which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related noted to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 27, 2024.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

Item #12 Page 499 of 578
26 Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

27 Report of Independent Auditors on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance
The Board of Directors
Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc. complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s federal programs.
March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 501 of 578
28 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with U.S. GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Obtain an understanding of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Item #12 Page 502 of 578
29 Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ORGANIZATION: Legal Aid Society of San Diego
1. Please describe how your organization will be using the requested funds.
LASSD’s Fair Housing Team is comprised of highly skilled attorneys, advocates, investigators, and testing coordinators with fair housing expertise. We will use the funds to ensure that meritorious fair housing claims are investigated and the appropriate enforcement path is chosen when necessary. All deliverables will be accomplished between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026.
LASSD will investigate alleged violations of federal, state, and local discrimination laws using standard fair housing investigative methodology. After there has been a determination that a claim is meritorious, LASSD will gather facts, witnesses, documents, and develop respondent profiles. Investigation may include surveys and interviews of in- place tenants, interviews of past tenants, and testing. LASSD will provide information and in-house referrals to other LASSD teams on non-fair housing landlord-tenant issues.
After a case is accepted for enforcement, LASSD will explain all enforcement options to the client and help determine which is best for their situation, which may include conciliation, administrative proceedings, and/or litigation.
Additionally, a key aspect of the fair housing program is comprehensive outreach and education to the public regarding fair housing protections and obligations. LASSD will use the funds to support and expand outreach efforts to provide high quality fair housing education to the Carlsbad community, including tenants, homeowners, housing providers, community organizations, and City staff.
Finally, the fair housing team administers an expansive fair housing testing program to identify otherwise undetected instances of discrimination. LASSD’s testing coordinators have significant training and expertise, and maintain updated testing methodologies for implementation of a high-quality testing program.
LASSD’s comprehensive fair housing services will increase and preserve affordable housing opportunities for low - and moderate -income households by helping residents overcome barriers to housing. LASSD’s project will also prevent and reduce homelessness by ensuring that residents are not denied housing or removed from their existing housing in violation of fair housing laws, such as a landlord’s refusal to grant a reasonable accommodation that would allow a person with a disability to remain in their home.
The key staff responsible for this project are Janeth Castaneda , Testing Coordinator ; Fabiola Bautista, Advocate; and Gauri Applegate, Lead Attorney. Additionally, Managing March 25, 2025
Item #12 Page 506 of 578
Attorney, Amalea Romero, will provide oversight of the project and serve as the point of contact for the City.
2. Attach a budget showing the specific line -item breakdown on how you arrived at the funding request.
Please see attached.
3. Describe how you r organization will be able to advance your program if you do not receive the entire funding request. What is your funding threshold before you can no longer provide the intended services or supplies you are seeking?
LASSD requests $27,968 for this project. If we do not receive the entire funding request it will not be possible to provide all of the current fair housing services we provide in Carlsbad. If we do not receive the entire funding request it may also jeopardize our other North County Fair Housing contracts , since LASSD leverages these funds to staff our fair housing team.
4. Does your organization charge a fee for accessing your services or supplies? If so, please describe the rational for this fee.
No.
5. Will the funding of this program with a CDBG grant allow you to receive a matching grant from another organization? If so, where would those funds come from and how much would that grant be in dollars?
Not applicable.
6. If your funding is approved, how many Carlsbad residents will you be able to assist?
LASSD is on track to assist over 146 Carlsbad residents this fiscal year and expects that demand for fair housing services will only increase with rising cost of living . LASSD anticipates assisting 146 Carlsbad residents in the upcoming grant year if we receive the entire funding request.

North County LGBTQ Resource Center – Executive Summary
Overview of Proposal: The North County LGBTQ Resource Center was incorporated in 2011 with a mission “to serve, empower, and advocate for North County’s diverse LGBTQI community.” The Center has provided behavioral health services since its inception and is the only organization providing free behavioral health services for this population. The Center's primary population consists of LGBTQ+ communities. All populations of special concern such as homeless households, persons with disabilities, persons with substance abuse, veterans, farmworkers, seniors, children etc. intersect with LGBTQ+ communities and as such are communities served by The Center. For example, The Oceanside City Council recently approved a Safe Parking program to be run in the parking lot of The Center, supporting community members who are unhoused, including Carlsbad community members. The Center is the acknowledged expert on gender affirming behavioral health care for the region, providing both expert services and clinical training.
The Center recently acquired and is now occupying a new building at 1919 Apple Street in Oceanside – two miles from its border with Carlsbad. Near groceries, PCH and Oceanside Blvd., the location is very connected to public transportation, including the Sprinter and the bus. The proposed project will complete expansion, renovation, and beautification of the Behavioral Health suites at this location. The Center has accepted a bid from Marinez Building that will complete renovation of the space including painting, flooring, electrical, carpentry, demolition, hauling, plumbing, drywall, and HVAC for a total cost of $66,750. Following the expiration of the lease of an existing tenant in the targeted suites, the project will be implemented and completed in October - December 2025.
Key Staff: Key staff to oversee the renovation of The Center’s Behavioral Health suites include:
Lisa Nava, Director of Operations and Max Disposti, Executive Director.
Budget: The budget for the proposed project includes the following:
• Marinez Building Estimate: $66,750
• Wages and Salaries (for Project Manager/Director of Operations - $5666/month x 3 months x 0.25 FTE): $4250
• Total: $71,000
Timeline: A bid has been accepted from Marinez Building. The lease for the renter currently occupying the suites to be renovated ends in early fall 2025. As a result, this work is planned for October - December 2025.
